Students at the University of North Texas are petitioning to have a new building named after a woman or a person of color. Despite over 50 percent of UNT's undergraduate student body identifying as people of color, no buildings on its campus are named after people of color. This controversy is reminiscent of the situation on UNC's campus during the 2015 renaming of Saunders Hall to Carolina Hall.

The Federal Pell Grant and Federal Work-Study Program, programs awarded based on students' financial needs, could be affected by Trump's new infrastructure proposal. The proposal is expected to spur $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments.

In a letter posted to the university's website, John Jenkins, president of the University of Notre Dame, criticized the NCAA's decision to deny the appeal to restore the school’s 21 vacated football victories. In the letter, Jenkins alludes to UNC's academic scandal as one of "striking contrast."
